Geocache Description:

**Wear Orange During Buck/Doe Season**

**THIS CACHE IS AVAILABLE 24/7**

"We placed this cache on family owned property. It is owned by my family along with another family. They know the cache is there. Please be very respectful of the land and it's surroundings...You will encounter treestands, and other hunter's markings and whatnot.

I wanted to place an ammo can here for some time. There is history that runs through this section of Stanley Bottom.

In 1892, the Jefferson Traction Company started a trolley car system. The line travelled the main street from the west end of W. Mahoning St. to the Pennsylvania Railroad station on E. Mahoning St. in Punxsutawney. One line branched off in west end and travelled up Foundry St. to end in the town of Walston. Another line branched off at Findley St.. This line first stopped next to the Passenger Station of the B, R, &P Railroad and then went on to Big Run or branched to Anita. The line ended in Big Run, but in Big Run another trolley system came down from Dubois to the north. Eventually these lines were joined together.

More info can be found at this link: (visit link)

What you'll be walking on to get to the cache is what is left of the trolley/tram road. Enjoy the hike and the history. Be sure to wear orange during hunting season! as this land is now private hunting grounds. You have my permission to be on the property.
